Alifted. Few people are blessed with knowing what they want to do with their life from a very young age. That’s the case with my children Alice (12) and Lifted (11) who together formed a gospel band ‘Alifted’.

Passion for the music runs in the family and my children are no exception to that. In fact, they have been active students at Barking and Dagenham Community Music School and also members of the Dagenham Songwriters Choir. In, addition to that, Alice is currently a member of the Junior Jazz band and the Junior Contraband where she also plays her Saxophone.

Both youngsters aspire to become an all rounder in the music trade when it comes to their art. Alice is a talented singer and a songwriter who also plays the saxophone. In addition to that, she is also honing her skills as a producer.

Lifted is the main vocalist of the group who shares the love for songwriting and also plays the piano and drums In terms of style Alifted songs can simply be described as uplifting blessed and inspiring. Recently, we’ve recorded the debut single ‘Vineyard Of Grace’ which is a fusion of contemporary gospel music fused with Afrobeats written by Lifted in collaboration with dad Dele and also shot our first professional music video. The ultimate aim, however, is to record a gospel album of 4 tracks. We have the ideas but lack funds for the arrangements.

Therefore, to complete this project we need to raise about £1,000 to record 2 more songs and print 100 EP's. What makes us stand out from the crowd? The aim of our fundraising campaign is not only to gain the necessary funding but also to promote modern day gospel music to people like yourself.

We want to show to music fans that gospel can really uplift the spirit and encourage anyone on their personal journey. Share the message about important values, make people contemplate and encourage them to cherish their gifts.

In return for your kind donations we can offer: ? Church ministrations ? Songwriting and recording services, Feature as guest artists on your music project ? Our own tracks on signed CDs and digital downloads ? Motivational talks for kids sharing our personal experiences ? Personalised drawings ? Branded merchandise and posters If you are curious to know more, why not listen to some of our previous work? Feel free to visit our website http://www.Alifted.com where you can find the debut single available to stream and download. We pray that with the kind help of donors like you there will be a lot more to show in future!
